This is quite practical for starting a couple of applications when logging into X. For instance I use it to start an xterm, xmms and gkrellm. I also use this functionality to run xset and modify some of the X server settings. However Debian does not suppor any equivalent scheme. I believe the standard response is that the user should write his own .xsession file which means each user would have to duplicate the functionality of all the scripts in '/etc/X11/Xsession.d' which would be pretty ugly. So I propose to add the following script to '/etc/X11/Xsession.d'. Ideally one would also apply the change I proposed in bug 203942 and call the new script 98xfree86-common_xclients. This way the xterm I start in my .Xclients file would inherit the ssh-agent environment variables. So here is the script. I wrote it so that support for ~/.Xclients can be enabled/disabled using /etc/X11/Xsession.options like for the other features. --- cut here --- if grep -qs ^allow-user-xclients "$OPTIONFILE"; then if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients" ]; then if [ -x "$HOME/.Xclients" ]; then "$HOME/.Xclients" else sh "$HOME/.Xclients" fi fi fi --- cut here --- -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ 1 + e ^ ( i * pi ) = 0 --------------------------------------- Received: (at 203963-done) by bugs.debian.org; 5 Aug 2003 03:48:08 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 04 22:47:58 2003 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from dhcp065-026-182-085.indy.rr.com (redwald.deadbeast.net) [65.26.182.85] by master.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 19jsnl-0005RP-00; Mon, 04 Aug 2003 22:47:58 -0500 Received: by redwald.deadbeast.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id DF916640BE; Mon, 4 Aug 2003 22:47:56 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 22:47:56 -0500 From: Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bug#203963: Add support for ~/.Xclients Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="fez1/uVX7m6GpeOd" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-18.6 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_20,EMAIL_ATTRIBUTION,IN_REP_TO,PGP_SIGNATURE_2, REFERENCES,REPLY_WITH_QUOTES,USER_AGENT_MUTT autolearn=ham version=2.53-bugs.debian.org_2003_07_20 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.53-bugs.debian.org_2003_07_20 (1.174.2.15-2003-03-30-exp) --fez1/uVX7m6GpeOd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable retitle 203963 xfree86-common: have Xsession support $HOME/.Xclients as ali= as for $HOME/.Xsession severity 203963 wishlist tag 203963 + wontfix thanks On Mon, Aug 04, 2003 at 09:49:25AM +1000, Daniel Stone wrote: > No, this is incorrect. $REALSTARTUP, which may be ~/.[Xx]session, if it e= xists, > is only executed at the *end* of the Xsession.d chain, after all the syst= em > Xsession scripts have been run.
